Bottom Line: I must have done something wrong in my past life to be subjected to this atrocity.

The first two episodes of Marvel's Inhumans are screened on IMAX ahead of its September 29 premiere date on ABC. Save your money and don't waste your time in this godawful money grab.

It starts with an Inhuman girl being chased by a group of heavily-armed mercenaries in a rainforest in Hawaii. Trident (Mike Moh) tries to save the girl but both end up getting shot. This whole segment is so laughably bad with some cringeworthy dialogue to boot. The girl's acting is so atrocious. When she's supposed to be running for her life, she looked like she was leisurely jogging through a park. The quality control is so pitiful that when a bleeding Trident falls off a cliff, the water that splashes around his body is already colored red.

After that debacle, we moved to the cloaked Inhuman city of Attilan located on the surface of the moon. We are introduced to the Royal Family: The king, Black Bolt (Anson Mount); the queen Medusa (Serinda Swan); Black Bolt's brother, Maximus (Iwan Rheon); the King's adviser, Karnak (Ken Leung); head of the Royal Guard, Gorgon (Eme Ikwuakor), the princess; Crystal (Isabelle Cornish) and the royal pet and teleporter, Lockjaw, which looks like a giant bulldog.

The story is not bad, but formulaic and just badly executed. The action looked amateurish even for TV standards. Maximus stages a coup but the Royal Family escapes to Earth thanks to Lockjaw. The Attilan scenes were kinda decent. The sets were iffy, half of them looked satisfactory while the other half looked really cheap, bare and unimaginative. The whole thing goes downhill fast when the Royal Family arrives on Earth. Each of them separated and displaced throughout Hawaii. Each of them have their own boring arcs.

Since Black Bolt does not talk, Anson does what he can with his limitations. When he's not glowering and scowling, Black Bolt communicates through sign language. His fish-out-water adventures on Earth is played for comedic effect which does not always succeed. I was amused at his facial reactions in the police precinct though.

The special effects on Medusa's hair is just terrible and just makes the beautiful Serinda look like a drag queen. The hair looks as bad on the big screen as it did on the trailers. Maximus shaving Medusa's hair is the best thing that could have happened to her. Medusa looked a thousand times better with a shaved head than when she had her locks.

With his candidness (tactlessness) and his ability to sense weak points, Karnak is the "best" and most entertaining character among them all. One of the rare cool moments of the show was when Karnak visualize multiple scenarios and outcomes of a battle. (But I still believe Joe Taslim or Ben Whishaw would have killed it as Karnak.)

After his memorable stint as Ramsay Bolton in Game of Thrones, Iwan's Maximus seemed so tame and generic. It doesn't help that Maximus is written like the typical evil brother grabbing power. As for the rest of the Inhumans, Gorgon is dull, Crystal is so pretty to look at and Lockjaw is adorable.

Clocking in at a disappointing 75 minutes, Inhumans is unsatisfactory viewing and everything about it doesn't deserve to be shown in a cinema. Marvel should stop hiring Scott Buck who wrote this piece of crap and is also the showrunner for the much-derided Iron Fist season one. Marvel Television should be ashamed for transforming this once-potentially awesome franchise into one of the worst superhero shows in modern TV history.

DC Comics and Greg Berlanti have found their Dick Grayson. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales' Brenton Thwaites has been cast in the lead role as the Boy Wonder in straight-to-series drama Titans. The show will debut in 2018 on the DC Comics-branded digital platform.

Berlanti, Akiva Goldsman, Geoff Johns and Sarah Schechter will exec produce.

Comic readers know Dick Grayson as Batman's famous sidekick, Robin. After Dick's parents were murdered, Bruce Wayne became Dick's legal guardian and trained him to fight crime beside him. But after years as part of the Dynamic Duo, Dick struggled to find his place outside the Dark Knight's shadow. Finally striking out as his own man, he emerges as a leader, mentor and father figure to his new family, the Titans.

"Dick Grayson is one of the most important and iconic heroes in the DC Universe, and it wasn't easy to find him but we have. Brenton has the emotional depth, heart, danger and physical presence of Batman's former protege and the Titans' future leader. We're extremely lucky he's chosen to bring his talents to this project and this character," Johns said.

Thwaites' credits also include The Giver and Maleficent and next has features Interview With God, Office Uprising and Ghosts of War.
